Drink Habit Grow. ~
The Petersous were married on
April 5, 1901, and things went along
all right until after the «first child

husband began to drink and the habit
continued to grow year after year.
When he would come home under the
'lnuence of liquor the wife said he
would refuse to give her the necessary
money with which to run the house.
The couple separated in December.
